I don't feel I am an artist yet - just an aspiring one. Meanwhile I am enjoying the journey. I hope others will enjoy the images I have created and not judge them too harshly.

I design and create fused glass kitchen and bathroom splash backs, window panels, mirrors, tiles, wall art and home ware accessories. I include precious metals, bold colour and texture in my work to create unique pieces of art. I strongly believe that our kitchen and bathroom spaces should be beautiful as well as functional and fused glass art fulfils this requirement whilst providing a surface that is hygienic and easy to clean. Suitable for both traditional and modern kitchens, a splash back provides a stunning focal point and can be co-ordinated with matching up-stands, tiles and home ware accessories to complete the room. Choosing the right splasback is important and a visit to the studio is recommended or please call to arrange a home visit to discuss colours and design options.

North Cornwall based artist Tracey Hunter Influences are from the cubist art movement, one of the most significant art movements of the twentieth century. Cubist founders Picasso and Braque reduced their subjects to basic geometric forms, rejecting the traditional philosophy that art should copy nature. Tracey has studied this form using a limited palette, and has adapted the style to suit the environment she finds herself in. Tracey’s paintings have sold internationally and added to many private collections. Exhibits – Market House Gallery – Marazion Fernlea Gallery – St Ives Karensa Art – Padstow Studio - Wadebridge.

Helen Prudames

Abstract oil paintings inspired by the landscape, seascape and skyscape of West Cornwall. I make intuitive marks with a palette knife - a loose, free technique that reproduces the images taken from memory rather than photographs or sketches. The result is an instinctive expression of the scene I’m representing. I use oil paint as I love their depth and permanence, revisiting the work many times to build depth and texture, working into the surface with tools and different media to bring the paintings to life. I paint part-time from my home studio in the village of Townshend, near Hayle.
